Product Information

https://www.reddit.com/r/mechanicalpencils/comments/hytq0k/had_posted_my_zebra_f701_pen_with_ticonderoga/ The X-701 was highly awaited by fans of “everyday carry” pens but it faced problems shortly after its August 2018 release. The pen was in very short supply initially and only sold directly from Zebra, where it sold out.

It uses an 0.8mm ballpoint refill that is good on lots of surfaces, but is also compatible with the Fisher Space Pen PR pressurized refill. The F-701 is known for it’s rugged build quality and incredible value. It is considered by many to be the ultimate in “everyday carry” value. Here are some of my Zebra 701 mod posts. Thought it might be helpful to compile them together in a single post. Feel free to comment any of your Zebra mod posts.

Other than that, the knurled metal grip might not be for everyone. If you want a softer knurled grip, I recommend getting some paper to wrap around the metal grip and just sand it with the paper to do a bit of a polish to make it feel a touch softer. (I set comfort at 3 stars because of people's personal preference of knurling.)

https://www.reddit.com/r/mechanicalpencils/comments/k0rxun/i_can_finally_enjoy_using_my_graphgear_1000s/ Ballpoint pens may not have the very rich ink pigments of rollerballs or the old-school feel of fountain pens. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t get a quality ballpoint that looks expensive and gives a steady flow of ink. (We are so tired of ballpoints that skip!)

In 2018 the Zebra F-xMD was released outside of the US. This is an entirely steel pen that was basically the same thing as a modded F-701 with a different ink refill. The refill was almost interchangeable with that of the original F-701 but with the change of some internal components the fit of the internals changed slightly as well. The new F-701 uses professional-grade stainless steel from its clip to the tip. It’s part of the Zebra Steel 7 series, which is their top-of-the-line ballpoint pens. The line also has a tactical ballpoint, mechanical pencil, permanent marker, and pen and pencil set. https://www.reddit.com/r/mechanicalpencils/comments/g1sy8z/graphgear_500_zebra_f701f402_bodies_theres_a_good/ The stainless steel body isn’t just all style, other. From a practical perspective, it’s easier to sanitize than plastic, and it’s corrosion-resistant. Since I spray almost everything with alcohol now because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this is definitely a big and healthy plus.
